Generac 7019 OneWash Gas Pressure Washer
Generac’s OneWash sits as the market leader for heavy-duty cold water cleaning thanks to its high-powered engine and pump architecture that preserve stable pressure under demanding workloads and long hose runs. While it carries higher fuel and maintenance costs than electric alternatives, its mobility and raw cleaning capacity give it a technical advantage for contractors and users who need portable, high-throughput performance that electric units (Karcher, Ryobi, Greenworks) can’t match.
